They pretty much just sorted them by weight.

I'm not a fan of QR codes in general. Why should I trust some random internet link that I can't even read? (And really, even if I could read it, why should I trust it to not be malicious?) This probably isn't as a big a deal on business cards, but when I see them on arbitrary signs in stores, etc, I just can't…

I agree! Instead of giving me a card with your email address on it you expect to tell me your address so I have to type it in right now? Not happening.

So, I get your card, and I want to note something, like where I met you, or what we talked about (e.g. why I have this card) Where would I write that on your card?

Even that is bad. The first five numbers are determined by when and where you applied for your SSN. For most people under 30 or so they got their SSN at birth. The reason places use the last four is not for security but because that is the identifying part.

I disagree with the first sentence: "Plagiarism is a serious offense." Certainly, deliberate plagiarism is wrong but it isn't exactly the crime of the century, (in fact, I'm not sure it's a crime at all).

Most of the things on the far right of the chart don't seem to be plagiarism to me, either. Sloppy/lazy, but not plagiarism.

"all of which matters if you're trying to measure from the center of one stud to the next."

There are, of course, differing views, but in general eating more vegetables is good even if it comes with eating more cheese. However, if your goal is to lose weight then you still need to reduce calories so eating more cheese needs to be offset somewhere else.

A bit off topic, but I don't get why it isn't the sneezer's responsibility to acknowledge the sneeze (e.g. "excuse me") in the same way that other bodily functions are acknowledged. (btw, I don't, generally, acknowledge other's sneezes.)

RE: Boys don't hit girls.

Assuming the girl didn't do make a bad decision then a parent being there would only mean they witnessed the accident. You can't prevent something like that. I guess you could never let your daughter ride a bike.

If someone is in your Wi-Fi range looking for a target (war-driving) they are going to have their tools running on every signal they find. They probably won't even notice that your SSID is hidden because the are using a sniffing tool, not the windows network tools. They'll crack WEP because it's there and easy, and…

No, because attacks aren't targeted. They are going to attack you AND your neighbor at the same time. Attacking networks isn't like breaking into a house where you can only do one at a time.

They don't actually sell multi-packs of Office. You can buy licenses to install on more than one machine, but I don't think you get a price break at 10, maybe at 50. To check volume licensing go to http://www.microsoft.com/licensing

I think this question is better asked in the first few days of employment. During the interview and even in the first few days of work I don't know what specific tasks/projects need to be accomplished in your company. Asking this question in the form of "What benchmarks will be the basis for my 90 day evaluation?"…

Bonus points if you can get that question in before they ask you the same thing.

I usually go with, "Why did the previous person leave this position?" It seems slightly less confrontational than "What happened to...?" and more personal than "Why is this position open?" If it's a new position a question like "What led to the company creating this position at this time?"

That's a misapplication across domains. Bayes rule is a rule for combining probabilities. That is, it is about how to determine the likelihood of an event given some other event. However, if you are trying to persuade someone that you are "right" then there is no middle ground; you aren't arguing that you're…

I'm very leery of the phrase "Has been used to treat" repeated throughout this article. The fact that some person or group has used some spice medicinally has no bearing on whether there is any real benefit from the treatment. Leeches and mercury have also been used to treat illness, just not very successfully.
